I crawl into Del's bed which is beside me, I sleep with him at night because he's worried about me. I've tried to tell him I'm a big boy!
He's the best. I can't wait to give him my picture!!
I shout and jump for him
"ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY'" I tell him in a muffled, tired voice.
He picks me up and looks in the mirror. It's Del's twin again!
"Twinnie!" I say, pointing at it with a large smile. It's so fascinating! Wow! Next we head downstairs for breakfast, I shout coco pops downstairs until Del looks very sad. Grandad is down there too, they just stand there.
"What's wrong Del?" I give him a hug. Where's daddy? "Did daddy do something wrong?"
I stand there confused. "Just a little bit Ro..." grandad stops mid sentence. Del tells him off for telling me. Hey! Why ain't I aloud to know the big boy stuff :(
Del tells me to go and play with my toys. We eat breakfast and poor Del doesn't look so good. Poor Del, naughty daddy :(
The rest of the day was made by me playing with my toys and making the biggest tower! But it kept on breaking. And I made a cake for Del's birthday! He liked it very much.

A few hours later, Del tells us we're going to see Mummy, but every time we see Mummy she's not there I don't understand :(.
I put my gloves, scarf and wellie boots on to splash in muddy puddles!!
We walk along the canal and I point out all the pretty colours in the sky.
"Do you know what that's called rodders? A sunset!"
WOOOOOW! That's so cool!
"You buy the sunset!" I say.
"You can't buy the sunset rodders!" Oh, maybe another thing :(
"But I can buy you lots of things when we're millionaires next year!" Silly Del, always saying typical stuff.
"What about mummy Del!"
"Not her, not just yet darling!" Why not? That's not fair! Poor Mummy!

So Me and Del carry on skipping across the canal and amongst the sunset. Until I need picking up of course..
